The Kiwis are better at fantasy than real life...
After a promising start this rather enervating domestic drama settles for shrill melodramatics and stupid behaviour, based on silly coincidences, and culminates in an over-the-top showdown that strives for catharsis, but merely achieves hollow bathos, while the only agreeable character meets a grim farewell.
Nice to look at and not without its moments, but much too long-winded and emotionally bloated.
Watch Black Sheep instead.
